The baits were very good but things seem to have changed with the many many trends & anglers about these days with regards bait.

So much social media driven content in all it's forms, I'm glad I fished in a time when you had to think your way through, around the many problems you faced, along with chatting to like minded addicts by the waterside.

Shame if the company goes, hardly own much of their products, the surface controllers are decent & baiting spoon is a nice bit of kit.

Wonder how much money went into “developing” and manufacturing of the 2 modern classics.

The runway
And
the butt cushion

For me, being tight, there's no way I'd be paying £15 per kg of bait that will basically be funding even more over plugged social media films where everything is name dropped continually....to the extent I/people switch off as is repetitive

I've never been much of a Nash consumer,the last thing I remember paying money for was a chair 20+year's ago which is still going strong to this day,the only positive thing Nash for me over the last few years has been some of the off the hook interviews, particularly liked Pete springate, Chris Yates, Jeremy wade,Martin bowler and Nigel bothaway.

Yes they were at a one time.
No need to get your pants in a twist over it.

Wasn't there a recall on the double sided bait screws a while back due to concern over fish mouth damage

In reply to Post #129
Yep

Listened to the podcast, one of them talking of a French trip and that he could have literally made a sofa out of the bait he pilled in. Times this across god knows how many free loaders that ponce bait out the back door it's no wonder they've gone under. Always thought this when buying bait, it's expensive not cos of the quality, it's to pay for all the “famous” lot to go fishing.

I'm very curious about which baits they'll use in their next vids, especially Samir how can he will do without the tiger slush

Back on tiger nuts & maize and he will probably catch just as many.
Good anglers will always catch fish, regardless of what company bait they use, just the right location, right time and simple rigs

I've thought about this not just bait but tackle as well. Nobody will say how much money is spent on consultants or sponsored anglers bait or tackle and how this impacts the RRP

I'm sorry to hear such a big name in bait has called it a day.

Some of the comments on here show a no real knowledge about how any large company works and how product development, especially if you can stick it under 'R&D', can have tax benefits and is just part of the development cost of any product.

'Freebies' are offered by nearly every company that develops anything not just tackle and bait.

I doubt very much that giving away 5, 10 or even 15 tons of bait a year has a massive effect on the bottom line. A quick look at the last 3 years turnover for the Nash Group and it's dropped from £22m to £14m in 2023. If they gave away 15 tons of bait every 6 months, at a guessed cost price of £3 per kg (if its even that high to them, could well be half this) that is £90k....out of even £14m that is peanuts as a marketing cost.

An accountant could tell you more about the stability of the group from looking at the accounts but the last 3 years were going down so I am not surprised they have made such a bold change to protect the core business.

Plenty of time too,if we could all live on the bank we would catch more
